BAKING TIP: Reshape Cupcake Liners

I know this has happened to all of us at some point… you’ve found the perfect liners to accessorize your pretty little cupcake. You’re all set to bake when you realize that your cute little liners aren’t so perfect anymore. They are all wonky. Yes, I do think wonky is the technical term for this! Your wrappers, which were once nice and perfectly round, are now oblong, flat and just out of shape. Sure, you can go ahead and pop them into your cupcake pan and bake away. But your cupcakes will have that funny dimple at the top edge. And that’s just not fair to you or your cupcake. But have no fear because Renata of Lovely Cakes in Norwalk, CT is here with a quick fix! She’s going to teach us how to whip those cupcake liners back into shape.

Thank you for that great tip! When I get my liners, I store them inside a small foam or plastic coffee cup. I push them down just enough so that the accordions compress and they are nice and tight when I pull them out to bake.

I would love a Permanent way to store my cupcake liner collection that keeps them in shape. Any Ideas? I’m headed out to buy the cookie cutters, but I have thousands of liners that are bent out of shape. Would a clean PVC pipe work? Or a clear pipe of something so I could still see my liners?
